How are everyone's tomatoes doing? Mine are very nice. :)


I didn't plant much this year. But there's still time to plant radishes and (I think?) spinach. Never planted spinach before....

I'm growing a heritage variety called Stulpice, that came from the Evergreen Brickworks market. As promised they were red and pickable after 60 days, and very tasty, though smallish.

Brussel Sprouts are small evil little cabbages. They are the Devil's work. They are like the small children in horror films lurking in corn fields.

Don't trust them, don't grow them. They are not allowed into my house. Ever.

Boil you brussel sprouts with chicken stock and saute, no bitterness.

I have 8 cherry tomato plants in self watering buckets, I figure why grow regular tomatoes if they just become plentiful and cheap when you harvest your tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are more flavorful than big tomatoes. I also have snow peas and snow pea pods. ( also in self watering containers )

My tomato plants are Yuuuuge this year. Like trees. Tons of grape tomatoes and super sweet.
When fertilizing this spring I think I slipped a zero converting from lb. per acre to oz. per sq. ft.

ghost peppers...… anyone have any experience with these things. tried them once previously and had a plant that produced 3 peppers, an animal bit into one, which left two. I dried them and extracted the seeds and planted them but they produced nothing. This found some really nice looking plants, bought 7 and of course they are all producing. Barring a surprise will have a quantity. Not sure the best and safest way to use them. Any recommendations would be appreciated

you can make simple hot sauce blending the peppers sans stems with garlic vinegar and salt, maybe bit of lime juice as well.
I find these are just pure heat though so be careful even with handling, use gloves.
You can add it to your Franks plus butter buffalo wings sauce for that extra kick for wings as well.
They freeze well also.
I use hot peppers like habanero and scotch bonnet when cooking but not Ghost.

Thank you! As I continue to read about these things I am becoming more wary of the danger. They use them to make pepper spray for military use. Cooking advice says to wear gloves long sleeves and eye protection. Yesterday I notices all 7 plants have peppers on them and are flowering. I have habaneros as well and know they can be incredibly hot, make our own version of Frank's with them and it is hot but flavorful. Not sure I would want to t ry ghost in it but may use 1 pepper. Ilike your sauce recipe and will try it, thanks again.

When you do use your habaneros go easy at first to make sure crosspollination did not take place with the Ghost peppers.
I've tasted peppers in the past that weren't supposed to be hot only to be informed they were grown close to ghost pepper trees.
I do prefer the Habaneros and the Scotch bonnet from the Dominican Republics as there is definitely some flavour and not all heat like Ghost peppers.
I've had to drink lots of milk after consuming foods made with ghost peppers so be careful.

Crosspollination never crossed my mind...OMG..... could be an interesting year, because ,of course, all varieties are in my 'pepper patch'. So far the jalapenos have been fine but most varieties are just past the flowering stage so will be careful. Thanks for the heads up!

Here's some relief for you. No it's not pepto bismol.:)

Looks like the current crop won't be affected but only the fruit from the following crop if the seeds are saved and replanted.
